Gusty winds, cooler air settle into southeast Wyoming

Breezy conditions linger as brief warm-up arrives

(John Roedel, Cap City News)

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions are expected across Cheyenne today, with wind-prone areas in southeast Wyoming seeing gusts of up to 60 mph. Wind speeds will generally be blustery throughout the day, particularly near the Interstate 80 summit and Arlington areas. Temperatures will hover near or slightly below average for mid-November, keeping a seasonal chill in the air.

Thursday brings a quick warmup for Cheyenne, as mild air moves in and the high reaches the upper 50s to low 60s. However, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne notes that breezy conditions will persist as a 250-millibar jet influences the area. Despite the warmup, skies will remain sunny and dry, continuing the area’s active yet predominantly dry weather pattern.

Looking ahead, another cold front will move through by Saturday, bringing cooler temperatures and strong winds into early next week. Forecasters expect Monday and Tuesday to be particularly chilly, with highs 10–15 degrees below average and gusty northwest winds adding to the cold.
